Ahmad bought two gas stoves that cost $191 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 4%, how much GST did Ahmad have to pay for one gas stove?
- What was the total cost of the gas stoves, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Ahmad had to pay for one gas stove
= 4% x 191
=
4100 x 191
= $7.64
(b)
Cost of one gas stove inclusive of GST
= 191 + 7.64
= $198.64
Cost of two gas stoves inclusive of GST
= 2 x 198.64
= $397.28
Answer(s): (a) $7.64; (b) $397.28
